Altadena deputies
responded Wednesday
morning around 9:50 a.m. to
Jackson Elementary on west
Woodbury Rd. regarding a call
of a bomb threat. The school
was immediately put on lock
down.
According to police, an
unknown male caller who
telephoned a school employee
and indicated he was going to
blow up the school. According
to the employee, the suspect’s
voice sounded that of a male
adult. The suspect did not
say at what time in which the
incident was to occur, nor
provide any details regarding
the description of the device.
The suspect also did not
provide any details regarding
where the device was located
police said.
The deputies conducted a
search of the school, along
with the assistance of four (4)
K-9 bomb detection units and
school personnel who were
familiar with the campus. No
explosive devices or foreign
unfamiliar devices were
detected. Additionally, there
was no known motives and
there was no suspect identified.
“The school has been checked
by the police, Altadena
Sheriff’s, and the ‘all clear’
has been given, so school
has resumed its normal
operations,” said PUSD
spokeswoman Hilda Ramirez
Horvath. “School personal
are trained to manage
emergencies and really keep
children focused and calm
during things like this. So
children have resumed their
school day as normal.”
Council to Hear Plan Review for New
Kaiser Permanente School of Medicine
The Pasadena City council
will hear, Monday night, a
predevelopment plan for a
new four-story, 80,000 square-
foot Kaiser Permanente
School of Medicine located
on the southeast corner
of Los Robles Avenue and
Green Street. The new
building would house a fully
accredited medical school for
future physicians of Kaiser.
According to the city staff
report, the current 16,700
square-foot commercial
office building and a surface
parking lot at 94 South Los
Robles Avenue would be
demolished to allow for the
new school. Kaiser officials
said the medical school will
have a prospective student
body of up to 192 students.
The proposed project would
provide 226 parking spaces
in a three level subterranean
garage.
According to city staff “The
project site is located within
the City’s Transit-Oriented
Development area. The
projects site is approximately
0.6 miles walking distance
from both the Memorial
Park and Del Mar Stations.
Prospective students and
faculty could benefit from
the proximity of the project
site to Gold Line stations.”
The project was reviewed
by the Design Commission
last year. Some of the
recommendations include,
“closely studying the
proposed landscaping to
emphasize the importance
and presence of courtyards
and alleyways and the
experience of pedestrians
as they move through these
spaces.”
“Continue to carefully study
the use and function of the
open spaces and courtyards
consider relocating uses
such as gathering spaces
and cafeterias to the ground
floor level adjacent to these
landscaped open spaces to
further activate the street
and better connect users
to courtyards and the
surrounding context.”
“The modern contemporary
architectural style is
appealing and the concept
should be further explored
and better executed by
refining the design to be more
true to its design concept so
as to be a truly innovative
and unique contribution to
the rich architectural history
of Pasadena.”
The commission also said
that the service entrance shall
not be located off of Green
Street among other things.
This is an information only
item and the council will not
take a vote.
The council meets at 6:30
p.m. in the Council Chamber,
Pasadena City Hall, 100
North Garfield Avenue,
room S249.

City Oil Filter Exchange Event
All Pasadena do-it-yourselfers
are invited to safely recycle both
their used oil and oil filters—
and get a new oil filter for free—
from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday,
March 25, 2017 at O’Reilly Auto
Parts, 919 N. Lake Ave.
This is the first of four such
free oil filter exchange events
currently being planned this
year by the City’s Department of
Public Works. The events are all
planned for the last Saturday of
each month beginning in March
and repeating in April, May and
June. Next month’s event is
from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday,
April 29, 2017 at AutoZone, 555
N. Lake Ave.
Just bring your used oil filter—
and used oil—and get a free
new oil filter, limit two (2) per
person. The oil filter exchange
helps protect the environment
by promoting proper recycling
of used oil and oil filters. A
list of participating certified
oil and oil filter collection
centers in Pasadena is online at
cityofpasadena.net.
Used oil filters are recyclable
because they are primarily made
of steel. Used oil can be recycled
to make other petroleum-based
products such as asphalt and
heating oil. In 2016, certified
collection centers in Pasadena
collected about 15,865 gallons
of used oil that might otherwise
had been improperly disposed
of by do-it-yourselfers. The
City each year also directly
collects about 400 gallons of
used oil from residential refuse
customers who call for a pick
up. If you want to schedule
a used oil pick-up, contact
the Pasadena Citizen Service
Center at (626) 744-7311.
Pasadena’s Oil Filter Exchange
program is made possible by
a grant from the California
Department of Resources,
Recycling and Recovery
(CalRecycle).
The Pasadena Police
Department will be
conducting a Traffic
Enforcement program on
Monday throughout the
city.
Officers will be deployed
at various locations
throughout the city to look
for violations including,
but not limited to, primary
collision factors involving
speed or red signals. When
violations are observed,
violators will cited and/
or educated on the safety
concerns associated with
the violation. The need
for driver education and
enforcement is constantly
on the rise due to the
increased volume of traffic
within the city of Pasadena
The Pasadena Police
Department’s ultimate goal
is to enforce and educate
the driving public at the
same time reducing serious
injuries and fatal collisions
Funding for these programs
is provided by a grant from
the California Office of
Traffic Safety, through the
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration.
